How did we get so lucky as to be graced by such a spring feast of music?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Sunday, May 24th, we honor Kathy Kelly with the 2015 Sacco and Vanzetti Award. Her exemplary activism against US aggression in the Middle East has made her one of our favorite presenters, and has also wound her up in jail, where she is presently serving a three month sentence for an action at a munitions plant that manufactures weaponized drones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Sunday, May 31st, we will be joined by Tom Hayden for his speaking tour. We are so proud to be hosting this iconic veteran long time activist. He will be promoting his new book, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Listen Yankee, Why Cuba Matters\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Tom was deeply involved in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Free the Cuban Five\u00e2\u20ac\u009d efforts, and we will be excited to hear his thought on recent developments in Cuba. Keep your eyes out on our website and Facebook page for other great upcoming events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dean Stevens April will bring us some of the most extraordinary musicians we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever had.
